Really fun B-tier show last night - Okada/TMW, Shibata/Sabre, and Hiromu/Taguchi were all pretty great. I still wish they'd treat the jr. tag belts less like a hot potato, but I pretty much accept it at this point. Makabe is rocking a pretty sweet beard these days, too. Bring on the New Japan Cup!

Excellent show again. New Japan haven't had a bad show since i started re-watching at WK. Wasn't a massive fan of Shibata/ZSJ. It was a good match but nothing memorable other than the ending, which was great. Looking forward to the New Japan Cup now. I think Omega will take it to set up a rematch with Okada later in the summer.

I'm really glad I didn't spoil the ending to ZSJ/Shibata before I watched this.

Hey there's another Korakuen tomorrow morning at the standard time of 4:30 EDT/9:30 GMT. Card's a mystery until the show like NYD. I wonder if that means it could be a little more important than the standard Road to show or if it was simply to conceal ZSJ's allegiance? Prob more the latter sadly but only one way to find out!

Full card that was just announced: Oka, Liger, TenKozy vs. Nakanishi, Finlay, Taguchi, Kawato Juice, Nagata, Elgin vs. Fale, Yujiro, Roa Jado, Gedo, Baretta, Goto vs. Taichi, Desperado, Kanemaru, ZSJ Tiger Mask 4, Makabe, Shibata vs. Taka, DBS Jr, Suzuki Yano and Ishii vs. Tama and Omega Kushida and Tanahashi vs. Hiromu and Evil Rocky, Yoshi-Hashi, Okada vs. Bushi, Sanada, Naito basically NJ Cup guys facing each other as are challengers. Taichi, Desperado, Kanemaru and ZSJ wouldn't have a Jr on their team against Goto. That puts more faith in ZSJ being a heavyweight/flexible in NJPW right now.

Weird Hiromu didn't come out for that last segment and just got represented by his jacket and title sitting in the corner. I'd say I hope he didn't get hurt, but he looked okay running out of the ringside area after his match.

If you don't mark out when he does the whole poundshop laser claws thing in his intro then I don't know whats wrong with you. I would go to a rave with Evil. An evil rave.
